A geothermal tax credit of 30% of the total system price is available for systems using qualified geothermal heat pumps.
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the United States Tax Code was revised to expand the existing tax credit available to consumers related to the installation of geothermal heat pumps. As a result, consumers purchasing qualified systems now can take a one-time tax credit equal to 30% of the investment in the geothermal system, including installation costs, without a cap.
